How do you prove that translations in your EB-2 NIW case are professional and reliable?

In an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case, documents not written in English must be accompanied by certified translations. The key point, however, is not to demonstrate what the translation cost, but rather that it was done professionally, is faithful to the original, and is properly certified.

To support this, keep your service documentation organized. Several elements help demonstrate quality:

• Receipts, invoices, or contracts that fully identify the translator or translation company.
• A description of the services provided and, where available, certifications attesting to the professional’s qualifications.
• A signed statement from the translator confirming the accuracy and fidelity of the translation.

Hiring well-established services with a solid reputation reduces the risk of translations that fall short of the required standard. More than the amount paid, it is the reliability of the material that gives your dossier its strength. If you have questions about the procedure, it is worth consulting the official USCIS guidelines or seeking specialized support.
